Beskrivning

Becoming a Model Minority: Schooling Experiences of Ethnic Koreans in China looks at the manner in which ethnic Korean students construct self-perception out of the model minority stereotype in their school and lives in Northeast China. It also examines how this self-perception impacts the strength of the model minority stereotype in their attitudes toward school and strategies for success. Fang Gao shows how this stereotype tends to obscure significant barriers to scholastic success suffered by Korean students, as well as how it silences the disadvantages faced by Korean schooling in China's reform period and neglects the importance of multiculturalism and racial equality under the context of a harmonious society.

Recensioner i media

Fang Gao’s book demystifies the long-held perception of the Korean-Chinese as the model minority in China. It presents and analyzes young Korean-Chinese students’ dilemma of 'to be or not to be a model minority' amid engulfing economic globalization and China’s rapid modernization and marketization.
